Chapter 294 - 296: The Scourge in the Army
"Mr. Soldier, I beg you, please spare Aunt Li. She has elderly to care for above her, and children below; her whole family depends on her."
"Mr. Soldier, for the sake of the Princess’ Mansion, please spare her life."
Several villagers, beaten black and blue, knelt outside the military camp, pleading desperately.
The Princess’ Mansion?
Feng Luochen and Dongfang Yong, upon hearing these words, looked over together.
The ones kneeling outside the military camp were villagers from Qi Village.
As instructed by Feng Bailing, the villagers had set out early in the morning, delivered the military grain outside the Imperial Palace for inspection, and then transported it to the Mu Family Army camp.
Who would have expected that on the way, trouble would arise? Lady Lai had merely bumped into a soldier and was to be dealt with by military law.
The villagers who had not been caught already went to seek help from Princess Consort Wu, but it was far too late, and now Lady Lai was facing imminent execution.
Lady Lai’s face was ashen, and she couldn’t utter a single word.
"You blind dog, you dare to collide with Young Master Zhao, you owe five thousand silver taels, and you can’t pay up, your worthless life will have to compensate."
Beside Lady Lai stood a haughty soldier.
